Hello Burra, Portugal is such a beautiful country, what part do you live in? A friend & I lived in So. Spain in Malaga province in a village called Mijas. We went to the Algarve once when we had to renew our visas, usually we went to Gib. because it was close. 2 replies to your question. 1) a woman I know has a composting toilet, it is a small outhouse building, she puts a 5 gallon plastic bucket below the seat and when used she covers the poop with sawdust because it absorbs moisture. I've read that absorbing the moisture prevents bad odors. The bucket was 1-1.5 m. below the seat. She has a door on the other side of the building that she can open to remove the bucket. She created a compost pile, but said that she would not use the compost for one year, so it would be free of pathogens. I have heard of using wood ash, but I don't think it works as well as sawdust. We have lots of sawmills around so it is easy to get sawdust. If you cannot get sawdust, I would maybe try soil that is easy to get, or maybe even sand, dry leaves, shredded paper (?). Important to have different compost piles and keep track of dates when last added to. 2) I cannot poop on top of some else's poop, can't do it. When in the country without toilet or without privy (outdoor compost toilet) I try to dig as deep as I can with a stick or rock, poop there and cover with lots of leaves and rocks, maybe you did this when you were nomadic. I think it could work if you have plenty of land and a system to identify where someone has pooped, crossed sticks, rocks in a circle, piece of cloth, etc. Please give Portugal a kiss from me. Cheers, Clayton
